Ferrari 458 Speciale vs Lamborghini Huracan vs McLaren 650S

650s Rides like a Rolls and largest trunk in the market (what the salesman told me) the ride really is crazy comfortable.

 

Yes

 

have you driven any of them yet?

 

Speciale

 

I would go with speciale as well

 

+1

 

Speciale, GT3 RS, Huracan ...in that order

 

I have driven and tested them all. All of them are nice cars but here the basic problems that I see:

Huracan: Sound is good but gives me a very fake impression. NA V10 is something cool though. Drives pretty stable but the tranmission is a little too dull imho. Looks are pretty good (except for rear)

Mclaren 650: Looks have improved over 12c. Convertible is def. a good thing but may be a hussle in too warm climates. Dont really feel cowl shake that much. Great power and awesome handling at higher speeds but no sound.

Speciale: Sound is awesome with the right exhaust. Very nice feel to drive. Very planted and epic gearbox. With this car I get the feeling that I am dancing with the car rather than driving with it. Most response from driving feel.

Id def. go with Speciale. Huracan 2nd and McL 3rd.

 

Have you tried the gt3? It is an epic daily and really fun to drive

 

Also consider the 488GTB. Will be available soon enough.

 

IN a place like Dubai you need something that stands out.

I have a Huracan and thought long and hard about the other two you mentioned as well. The Huracan is on another level and simply amazing.

There is not a better exotic Daily Driver out there than a Huracan. Simple.

Order: Huracan, 458 Spec, 650s

(PS - Had a '15 GT3--great track car--lousy daily driver)

 

Are you tracking more than daily? Probably not. But if that's the case grab the 458 Spec. If you want the best daily grab a Huracan.

BTW, here are the TRACK times (no 458) at Willow Springs in CA (USA)...you tell me if Huracan is good at the track.

Are these private drivers times or are these official by professionals? I have a very hard time believing that the Huracan is faster than a 911 Turbo and Nismo GTR. I would like to see where the speciale ends up on that list

 

Randy Pobst count as a pro driver...I think so. Go do a search in Motor Trend...came straight from them, not me.

And just to irk you a little more...here are some quarter mile times:

"Things get especially noteworthy in the quarter mile. The Ferrari needs 11.1 seconds at 125.2 mph. The Nissan needs 11.0 flat at 126.6 mph. The Porsche needs 10.9 seconds at 123.7 mph. The kooky-quick McLaren needs only 10.7 seconds at 134.0 mph. The Lamborghini Huracan beats 'em all, requiring only 10.6 seconds to travel 1,320 feet with a trap speed of 132.8 mph."

 

Ceramic standard of course and that is the one area for improvement (even Randy said that). They are rock solid (better than old Lambo's) but not quite GT3 ceramics (but they are TOO grippy for me). That was the one nip pic he had, the rest he said gauntlet is passed...his words NOT mine.

 

Thanks for posting. I have seconds thoughts everytime I watch motortrend since they werent able to beat a Carrera 4s with an F12 if I remember correctly.
